Formulation Specifications

When compared to Sodium Xylene Sulfonate, a popular product used in built liquid detergent systems, there are a number of reasons for considering Cola®Trope INC as a more viable alternative for formulations, including:

• Cola®Trope INC is generally twice as effective as SXS when compared on an equal solids basis (judged on the basis of either higher cloud point or lower Krafft point temperatures).

• Cola®Trope INC is a stand-alone surfactant and as such will contribute to the surface activity, wetting and/or detergency properties of the formulated product. SXS only functions as a hydrotrope and never improves detergency. SXS actually ties up some of the surfactant activity of the surfactants in the system

• Cola®Trope INC has excellent stability in hypochlorite solutions. INC does not contribute to the degradation of the hypochlorite in the formulation like SXS.

• Cola®Trope INC is a fast wetter, taking only 22 seconds during a Draves wetting test in a hypochlorite solution. For a reference, Cola®Trope INC is soluble in 10% Sodium Hydroxide and soluble in 20% Potassium Hydroxide
